Treatment of α‐hydroxy‐α‐phenyl‐ o ‐toluidide with phosphorus tribromide afforded a series of 4 H ‐3,1‐benzoxazines. These last, when reacted with potassium amide in liquid ammonia, ring contracted to 2,3‐disubstituted 3 H ‐indol‐3‐ols. The scope of this rearrangement was examined. The indolols on treatment with hot base were found to rearrange to indoxyls. Several of these as well as their N ‐alkylation products are described.
